African American Callaway/Calloway Connections
The family decents listed below are compiled from 1870 and 1880 census records based on the family race identification as "Mulatto," thereby suggesting that these African American descendants have a paternal connection (y-DNA match) to a white Callaway male.
The descents listed in the second generation do not suggest that these individuals are brothers and sisters, but are gathered under this "African American Callaway/Calloway Connection" title as a first step in determining their individual family groups.However, they are probably cousins that would fall under either the Joseph or Peter DNA lines.While y-DNA testing can provide confirmation of this gentic link, it can not provide the name of the individual ancestor.
Research of these Calloway lines continues with examing wills and deeds to help identify the connection to the white Callaway lines.Any help or input would be appreciated.
